Considering the hassle I had when getting a laptop repaired that was not bought on Amazon (Lenovo refused to repair a display that no longer turned on because the plastic guide of one USB-slot fell out as well, and the vendor tried to to fuck us over by not taking it back/exchanging it; until I made a stink on social media), my next laptop will almost certainly be bought from Amazon exactly because of the service I saw them provide in similar cases (and it will certainly not be a Lenovo laptop. Never again). Only not if it is a special model bought from the producer, like System76 or something like that.

But that is also because counterfeit goods are less of a problem with Laptops. For many other things Amazon has a real problem there. It's okay to be a bit more expensive if the service is good, it is not okay when I have to be one the lookout for fakes when buying there.

And for the site I have that links to Amazon offers, all the scam offers that are or at the very least were active there ("send a mail to [email protected] before buying") were a real problem as well.
